Yes. You do not need classes to write a "nice" chess program. But why should you not leverage from other peoples efficient data structures in C++ if you had the choice. Check out LDA (http://www.mpi-sb.mpg.de/LEDA/leda.html) and others. I recommend to use C++ for any new software project if there is a stable C++ compiler available and you know C++ (assuming, there is no other reason not to use it). When using C++, you should use its class design. Otherwise, you just have an almost C-compatible version written in C++. "Almost", since there are a couple of differences between ANSI C and draft ANSI C++. "Draft", since there is not yet a fully ANSI C++ compliant compiler available. Gregor
